Get the Most Out of Your Air Conditioner

05/08/2015

Buying a new air conditioner for your home is a major investment, and obviously you want to ensure you are getting the greatest benefit out of it with the Tuscaloosa weather. Generally, your air conditioner doesn’t demand much of your time or attention, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to improve. Follow these tips from KDM Service Corporation to maximize what you’re getting out of your air conditioner.

The Right System for Your Home
With all the air conditioner options out there, we can design a system that fits your needs and the size of your home properly. KDM Service Corporation can help you find the air conditioner that’s the perfect fit for your home by considering your square footage; how well your windows; walls and roof are insulated; and various factors.

Use
a Programmable Thermostat or Comfort Controls
Utilizing a programmable thermostat can make it simple to control your comfort. Using a programmable thermostat, you can set a personalized temperature schedule a week at a time. You’ll no longer have to worry about adjusting the temperature before or after work or before bed. There are also more advanced options to take advantage of like remotely adjusting the temperature using your phone, tablet or laptop. Comfort controls such as the iComfort® thermostat can perform advanced diagnostics on your air conditioner to warn you of service needs.

Help
Your Air Conditioner Out
You don’t want to make your air conditioner work harder than necessary. On a sunny day, keep the indoor heat from rising by closing the blinds and windows. When the weather cools down, open the windows so your air conditioner can get a break.

Close the vents and doors of unoccupied rooms to let the cool air to where it’s needed. This will prevent making your air conditioner work harder than it has to, and eliminate unnecessary costs on your energy bills.

Don’t
Forget About Maintenance
When you get a new vehicle, most people follow the manufacturer’s recommendations on the frequency of oil changes and annual maintenance. The same applies for your air conditioner to keep your investment operating properly and efficiently. Spring is an excellent time in Tuscaloosa to schedule an appointment with a professional to inspect and maintain your air conditioner before summer is in full swing.
